- On today’s episode, we started our adventure at the main farm, for an exciting day of harvesting our prototype intercrop corn plot, we plugged an auger, plus fixed a semi, got the computer working in the dryer shack, met with Joe our electrician, starting combining corn, and I discovered we technically won the United States High Yield Corn contest. Today was incredibly exciting, due to the fact we put in so much work into this intercrop test. We have a long way to go to make it better, but I am optimistic for the future!

I don't think your explanations are negative at all. It helps to explain both the good or bad life situations with your farm. To me... it's just your life right now. Keep up the great work!
don't worry about the negativity. You payed good money for your bin project and you need to have it done right ! I bet your Grampa would say " the squeaky wheel gets oiled" so keep after the contractor to get it right ! Love your videos!
I agree 💯
I disagree
I’m a nurse and a teacher by work history. I know zero about farming, I stumbled onto you, I am fascinated. I have no doubt that you are just getting started in what you’ll achieve in your lifetime. And I’ll enjoy watching it happen!
The credit goes to the entire Corn Star team. All play a vital roll for success.
I was an electrician on a new bin site with a similar capacity issue to the one you seem to have. The angle auger coming out of a hopper bottom bin to feed the dryer would overamp at about 20% of the projected flow of corn. After some trial and error, swapping pulleys etc, the millwright eventually cut off the double helix at the bottom of the auger flighting and the issue went away.
Cole, I'm sorry that you're going through all this with the bin site. Hopefully soon everything with the law suit will have a great outcome & all the problems with the bin site will be fixed. Prayers for all of the Cornstar family
I would name the bin site "Uranus", just so you get a chuckle every time it comes up.
Made me laugh. However how appropriate
I know nothing about farming Cole but you are a hard working man and to see all that you have done is awesome. Your family and grandpa must be so proud of you!!! I wish you nothing but the best in life, family, farming & happiness!
It’d be interesting to see the long-term yield of intercropping since the corn and soybeans are going to impact the soil and other conditions differently. They may even impact pests differently as there is greater distances between plants and temperatures can change more. I hope you do this long-term.
Yup... that's what I figured with the locked rotor current blowing the fuses. First check voltage at breaker....that will tell you that you haven't lost a supply phase. Then check voltage on both sides of the fuses 🙂
Congratulations Cole on Winning the US Corn harvest
I love how much science and research you do on your own field, out of your own pocket. I can’t wait to see the outcome of your experiments!
Without dad and brother. Nothing would happen
Man it sucks to see the bin site is so badly done. But as a non farmer and a major gamer who just works and plays games, I LOVE hearing about how badly it's done. i can't wait for you to get your day in court. Somthing about you explaining how its meant to work but showing its working wrong is so entertaining. Plz keep recording over here and talking to us about what you're comfortable. Good luck man you will survive were here for ya!
Cole you are educating all of us on what farmers deal with on the daily. Thank you and thank your family for us.
"The bin site has once again provided us with an opportunity"
An opportunity to work on our patients, self control and mind set.
Your doing great! Keep it up! We enjoy the content!!
It’s so interesting seeing your results of your test acreage. It’s amazing I never knew planting different size rows would make a changes. You are a good teacher, I find myself drawn in listening too you every time. BTW your family makes me laugh so much I don’t find anything negative with your blogs.
Omg, I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to look forward to something, spend a load of money on it and it doesn’t seem like even one part of it works properly. I pray that you guys get a resolution to this issue.
I was hoping the “I won” title was related to the lawsuit.
I hope they get all the money back on the bin site plus a few hundred thousand dollars for damages and suffering!
Wow! Very cool experiment Cornstar fellas! Seems worth the extra work to plant 2 crops together in a field! Awesome! I LOVE learning this! You are an excellent instructor Cole! 🌽🌽🌽🌽
Congratulations, thank you for sharing your lives with us. I have always respect fir farmers. I have much more respect for farmers since i have been watching your channel.
Wow! What an interesting experiment! Your explanations are great, even I can understand them!😂😂. You aren’t being negative, you are a little frustrated, and that’s okay. Not everything is roses and sunshine! And it does us good to see the reality of things.. love all of y’all’s channels!!😊❤
Amazing breakdown of the numbers. I appreciate the time that went into it and your detail oriented nature. I hope you all have a great rest of harvest!
I think YOU and your family are incredible farmers. I learn so much from your videos. I had no idea of the complexities of modern day farming. I’m so impressed with you guys.
Cole, you are fine, man. It is good you show the good and bad. Life is full of ups and downs. You are sharing your life on the farm. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I love watching your farming experience.
You are so intelligent and taking your family farm into the future.
I love seeing intercropping on the industrial ag scale! thanks for sharing
Cole, Whilst frustrating as all heck, do not apologize for the bin fiasco. You are all trying your best to work with a difficult situation. It will get settled eventually. Just stay safe. Congratulations on your winning yield. That yield is amazing. Next level!
Yes well done hope your soybeans do just as well thanks for keeping up doing what you all do with out you farmers we would be lost thanks to all you farmers for what you all do
Don't worry about sharing your frustrations, it is real life for you and everyone should understand. I worked in a grain elevator when I was a young man, and every time something new was added it was buggy, and took time to get it running better let alone dealing with breakdowns that happen all the time.
The study/experiment you're doing is so interesting. Can't wait for the final results! 😊
I found your youtube page last week and have been binge watching ever since……fyi….my beautiful wife was born and raised in Marshalltown and I grew up in Norfolk, Nebraska and we met and married in Germany 54 fantastic years ago…..I love my beautiful Marshalltown girl! Great videos bring back farm memories for me!
Wow your driveways look so clean and spacious. I enjoy the positive and negative parts of your videos. Just as real as it should be. Your grand parents would be so proud of all you have done in such a
Short time. Be well and thanks for allowing us all to share your journey. 🇨🇦🙋👩🌾
It’s okay Cole harvest time always brings out the worst of us especially when things don’t work well hang in there buddy harvest season will be over soon
I truly enjoy your content, your explanati 33:23 ons and thought process. You have a wonderful family, and I would like to see more of Cooper, too. He should have his own channel for that different perspective, plus his hay sideline. Thank you for sharing your family with us viewers.
Cooper does have his own channel
Yeah Cole, do t worry about what your saying. It's helping you to relieve pressure from yourself and the issues. I thi k we all understand bad contractors. I was one for 15 years and often came behind the guy who didn't care or blew it and walked away.
Keep up the good work and I hope to find that your mixed crops were a win this season.
Congratulations on all the figuring the crop planting. Outcome is fantastic 👏
Thank you Cole! God bless your family!
Congratulations Cole and Nave on the news of expecting your second baby!! ❤ Funny how you slip that in 😅
I like the explanations, they're not always exciting, but quite often necessary and helpful whwn making decisions.
You have a great channel, no worries on venting, it’s natural… keep positive & working hard..
Amazing! What a boost it will be if those intercropping numbers hold up. Kudos for being willing to try different approaches and being as scientific about it as possible.
Congratulations! Remember not only are you doing this reseawch to educate farmers and yourself but for future farmers! Thank you!
So happy for you congratulations!!!
I'm glad you showed the spreadsheet with some cost analysis on it. Most farm channels talk about yield, but without the other numbers that doesn't mean much to the rest of us.
Thank you for doing all that very interesting. Next year might do some narrow row stuff. Been my experience that if the only thing you change is row width to 15” you gain 10-15 bushel increase. Doing that creates new problems for your other equipment. I have been doing narrow rows for 22 years now and I not going back to 30” rows. Kansas farmer.
Cole. Your camera angles are unique. I know the editing is what makes your videos the “best” in my opinion. A follower from Ontario’s corn belt
Don’t forget for double time and fuel when you have to do over-passes on frequent break intercropping.
Also, having such high production will require more fertilizer next year. Don’t be surprised when your mono tanks next year if you plant in your “playground”.
I'm so glad to see you using range finding experiments and control groups to determine potential outcomes of what turns out to be engineering experiments. I work on the development of pacemakers and other implantable medical devices and use pretty much the same set of tools to determine how to build the most reliable devices. Stats and creating design of experiments is not something I credit those outside of the engineering community with. Thanks for proving me wrong.
Cole don’t stop showing the good & bad in farm life as for me I know how to pray for y’all bro.
Besides as a retired minister I’ve a great deal of experience in this field.

Love watching everything from your perspective. You and your family are amazing 👏🏻
I think you are being honest and professional with the way you are explaining in your situation. I hope your legal case gets settled soon.
Congratulations 🎉 incredible job well done.
Cole congratulations looks like you will be a family of four soon how exciting! God bless you and your family.
That is so awesome!! You deserve it!
It’s amazing how right our grandparents were. My Grandpa picked corn with a one row corn picker so his rows were further spaced apart compared to todays rows. So can help accomplish the intercrop while being monocrop.
Because grapes grow readily where I am, to increase quality and decrease yields, I planted my vines like they do in europe where space is premium which is extremely tight and half the spacing we average in the US. It does decrease my total pounds of fruit but it increases the quality. In the US 8 feet between vines and rows is quite normal, in europe 3-4 feet between rows and vines. Which forces them to fight for resources and tends to lower the yields.
Can't wait 'til it'd done and you can finally let go all the info and rants, look forward to it 👍
Congratulations on the harvest 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻loved the video 😘👍🏻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻
Feel for you cole i really do hope it all pans out in the eñd and gets sorted 🙏
Great video Cole!!!! Don’t apologize for getting frustrated. You deserve to vent. Thanks for the excellent content.
Wow! Never took intercropping into consideration. Thanks for sharing the info and looking forward to see what the beans do.
Going into the intercrop setup, may be beneficial to get either a 3 or 4 row unit to open up areas.
This numbers are amazing! Cant wait to see the final results...
This episode was amazeballs! Thanks for including us in this adventure.
We have been doing the same concept as intercrop with a mono crop setup. We plant our corn in rows we call train rails. 2 Rows planted two rows not planted and then 2 rows planted again across the entire planter. The row density is higher to maintain a hectare density that is still the same. We have considerably higher yields and in drought years it is a life safer. Kind regards here from South Africa.
We need more American farmers doing what you and your family are doing.
Much success to you and your land.
Also congrats on your new baby.
It's been a long wait for the powers that be to figure out the mess that is your bin sight. You would think sending a professional out there to look it all over and see with their own eyes, what is wrong, and compensate you for your loss, and, or, fix it all. I hope it's almost over. I like hearing about how the bin sight is performing. That's all part of your farming, and you have to figure it all in there. On the crop yields. Wow, great job Corn Star Farms!
Love your videos, keep up the good work ❤
When intercropping with short and tall crops, align the rows parallel to the suns travel (E/W or W/E) to ensure the short crop gets the maximum sunlight.
Well done on ur win Cole. 🏆
This is the type of research that makes me proud to be a farmer and I look forward to trying this for myself.
Congratulations! Fascinating arrangement of crops!
Good show !
The business side of it is always interesting to me because I had to do this type of stuff when I was still working.
i have a suggestion for you Cole when you work out the best row configuration maybe fertilise a section as control and a section of high management to see if the yield would increase or maybe try all your row confinement again next year and do it with high management to see if you get a different result and find that you prefer a different row configuration then you do with just your control
Excellent results on your inter planting test plots! Wow! Such an incredible diff
Really interesting results! Thanks for sharing. It will be fun to see if you change your planting next year to try to increase your total results.
I agree with @marystratton9769 your comments were not negative, it is just the facts. I know the whole situation is frustrating and stressful for all of you, but there is no judgement on our side. Hang in there
Your not negative Cole , not at all . We understand how you feel. You invested a lot of money in that site, all you wanted to do is make the farm run smoother. You do make the farm run a lot more efficient.. Sometimes you just pick the wrong
contractor . Hopefully it will all work out . I hope you win the law suit . ❤🌽🌽🌽
So proud of your family ❤
I love this idea, it can be done so many different ways. I wish you could calibrate skips on your planter in furrow, solid rows of corn spaced way out with 2 or 3 beans in furrow between, different patterns in furrow
Congratulations!! Amazing effort, especially for a young man.
This is so fun to learn!! I had no idea how complected all this is!!! I love every aspect of your videos. I binge watch every day since I found your channel. I love every part. Did you win the law suite?
Cant wait for the result of the beans! Maybe next year you can try a configuration with 2 rows of beans for every corn row or maybe 4 to 2? Also i think you should harvest your control with only 6 rows at the time to exclude that some of the gain is not from the combine running more efficient on a lesser load.
Bert interesting. I have been waiting to hear how this went. Thanks for sharing.
We feel you frustration, we all want your stuff to operate as advertised too. Interesting corn results.
looks like next time you do this it’ll be worth taking the devastators off! Plus you had to run some over. Intercrop farming makes total sense. It’s kinda like “3 sisters”, or corn, green beans & squash. Green beans climb the corn, squash is a ground cover.
I love watching your vlogs and congratulations on the new about your new baby coming ❤❤❤
Your control crop numbers and willingness to try a new crop management is the kind of things my office with the USDA would be so excited about for the farmer. Back then, only 1 farmer had a computer, and knew how to use it. We didn't have any computers in our office 😂. So, this would have been huge news to share with others. Or, sometimes, just breaking even in a bad year, that's fantastic...in an average year, time for a celebration. People don't understand that bumper crop years aren't always a good thing for a farmer. That usually means the market price goes down because the supply/demand ratio is too close. This year, we're feeding several countries, so it should be okay. This is absolutely fascinating stuff! Congratulations on your control crop, ya did great! 🙂❤️
This intercropping is an interesting experiment. The 12+12 row configuration is the most practical with the size of the headers, however would you be able to match the soil-preparation to it as well since the two crops require different nutrients? Small correction to the conversion: 1-hectare = 2.47105381=acres.
Keep working hard and your yields will only get better.
Fascinating watching the intercropping yields. Keep it up
Learned a lot about intercropping! Thanks. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We appreciate you letting us in on your life, Cole. You're good people.
Thanks again for your time making the video watching from Reno NV
You never regret buying the best. It might hurt on the front end, but the lowest bidder is low for a reason.
A panel with breakers instead of fuses would solve some problems.
You already know but you about the bin system hopefully it works out thanks for sharing
On the crop plot looks like you just need to plant 38 in rows at a little lower pop and not plant the beans in between
At 4:55 mind blown…….so many wires, machines…..having to know it all. 🎩 hats off boys!
You are taking it too the next level. Respect 🤠
Great video! So much more to farming then the general public is aware of.
To empty a plugged auger using a 3 phase motor just switch 2 of the wires of the motor. It will then run backwards emptying the auger at the bottom. learned from experience.
I would think working intercroping with your equipment size in mind would work best for not destroying crop. If you get snow before corn is done, beans would go about down to almost nothing. Good luck in the future with your trial plotting & the bin site. 👍👍
Something else to try on the combine if you haven't already, put a 5 degree offset in the shoe. The single rotor combine load up heavy on the RH side, offsetting the shoe helps to spread it out better and get more capacity out of you cleaning system. You should be able to pretty easily run 4500-5000 bu/hr through that machine and keep the loss under 1%
Intercropping may definitely be the way to go for the future. I can see new equipment designs to make one pass, planting, maintaining, and harvesting possible in the future. Can you just imagine profiting from this little experiment in totally new farming methods.
